The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Edmondo Cirielli, called on Spain this Monday to “assume its responsibilities” for the regularization of immigrants and insisted that they will maintain controls on passengers coming from Spain by air and sea “at least until mid-August” and will then evaluate the situation.
The Ministry of Defense has ordered the suspension of all leave for military personnel deployed in Ceuta following the crisis triggered in the autonomous city as a result of the irregular entry of 72,000 immigrants from Morocco in just 48 hours, according to sources from the Ministry of Defense. The General Command of Ceuta is taking this step, which requires the military to remain fully available in the coming days, in order to have maximum operational capacity in the face of the risk of a new mass crossing, which is being called for on social media for next Saturday, August 15.
The Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and her Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen, published a joint statement this Monday in which they reject “uncontrolled immigration” and call for repatriation centers in third countries.
The FOMO (fear of missing out) is driving the already huge excitement to see the total solar eclipse the day after tomorrow, the first one that can be enjoyed in Spain in a century. Although it was predictable that it would happen, it worries the authorities and public managers because it could lead to collapses, last-minute displacements, and uncivil behavior. Many of those who criticized so much attention to the astronomical phenomenon are now trying, two days before the eclipse, to have a good plan to experience it.

Justice, running at half speed in August, has given the Government of Pedro Sánchez a reprieve with corruption cases, and the outbreak of the Ceuta crisis due to the entry of more than 70,000 people from Morocco has refocused attention on immigration, with a visible impact on the right-wing bloc. For now, the PP and Vox, balancing carefully, manage to show more alignment than ever as they reach one hundred days of coalition in Extremadura and Aragón – the first two of the four governments formed in the latest cycle – and have avoided any friction. In these two territories, Vox is fully deploying measures rejecting immigration – from the suppression of payments to minors (Aragón) to filing legal appeals against the reception of minors (Extremadura) – although, for the moment, without causing dissonance with their partners.
Rodalies suffers a systemic crisis due to the total neglect of network maintenance and the absence of investments for decades. The hundreds of thousands of users are the main victims of this gigantic blunder that will take years to resolve. On top of this, there is…
Behind many of the service interruptions that Rodalies suffers daily are copper thieves who operate throughout the railway network with total impunity. They do so in points of the metropolitan area in broad daylight or in some remote and lonely place at dawn. There is no clear pattern beyond acting quickly, wiping out everything, and leaving as a consequence the corresponding impact on the service users.
Thousands of Ceutíes took to the streets this Sunday in a massive demonstration that filled the Plaza de la Constitución to demand a response to the serious situation the city is facing after the massive entry of migrants on July 30 and to send a message that has echoed throughout the afternoon: “Enough already.
